Form & Verdict
Two Class 6 wins over 1m this year; only second in her hat-trick bid here (7f) last month and when filling the same position at Newcastle two weeks ago it came in a race where the winner was able to set a slow pace; still improving and she rates a major player.

All four wins have been on AW and last two were over C&D in the spring; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for her last success and she's run well on turf in last two starts including a near-miss at Wetherby (7f, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and she's strongly respected back up in trip.

Yet to win a race but last season's three handicap runs were all encouraging; this is the least-competitive race she has tackled and switching to AW shouldn't faze her on pedigree; Billy Loughnane booked; should go well back from a break.

Lightly raced; her 1m form on turf and the AW suggests she should find a race off her current mark but she just plugged on at one pace when a remote fourth of six on the step up to 1m2f at Doncaster (good to firm) recently; this may be easier but she needs to prove her stamina.

Still to register a victory but she's proving a reliable filly and returned from eight months off with a clear second of five in 1m Southwell handicap last month; can race off the same mark here and this step up in trip promises to suit so she's a player.

Four-time AW winner who ran her best race on turf when second of seven, beaten a neck, at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May; failed to back it up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces rather than visor) four weeks ago; this trip should be more suitable.

Her four wins have all been achieved over shorter trips and on AW, but she ran comfortably her best race on turf when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 18 days ago; has to prove her stamina and cheekpieces replace the visor today.

Form & Verdict
Had some useful form in Ireland in 2024; well beaten in a Class 2 fillies' handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) on her stable debut in January 2025 but she fared better when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December, only headed inside the final 110 yards; one to consider off the same mark.

Cheekpieces added to tongue-tie when making the frame in deeper contest over the extended mile at Beverley last time, dropped in from widest draw before unable to sustain a promising run once negotiating traffic problems; should be able to adopt a better track position this time.

Clear signs of ability in three starts at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.5f, Tapeta) and her fourth when last seen in May narrowly sets the standard; interesting that connections are persevering and she's a player on her comeback.
